13 Using Simulations

This chapter provides information about using the Simulations tab.

Use the Simulations tab to create a simulated event for selected resources and evaluate its potential impact before making a network change. You can review the simulated event, analyze the resulting impacted entities, and schedule the event as a planned event. Simulation supports planned network-change scenarios, such as hardware or software upgrades, port or card replacements, link upgrades, device dismantling or relocation, technology transitions, vendor swaps, and bandwidth expansion.
